Can't add devices

Hi,

I have two aqara temp sensors, 5 aqara weather sensors and a ikea E1743. For no reason the 5 aqara weather sensors and the ikea E1743 become available and I can’t add them again. The two aqara temp sensors was reporting temperature and humidity.

I tried to remove the ZHA integration and add it again with no success. I tried to delete zigbee.db, remove ZHA integration and add it again but also no sucess.

What should I try?

Thank you

Do you have a Conbee stick?

It’s a CC2531 from texas flashed with CC2531_DEFAULT_20201127.zip.

I should say that the first time I added the devices it was a very peaceful process. Search devices -> clicked for 5 seconds -> Done!

I use the same stick and I noticed I have hard time adding new devices as well. The very first time I setup the CC2531, devices are added and mqtt recognizes it. Later, when I wanted to add new devices, it is a nightmare.

How I do it now is when I want to add new device(s). I shutdown zigbee2Mqtt addon. Physically remove the stick from the usb for a few seconds and connect it back in. Start up zigbee2Mqtt add-on and pair the device(s).

I don’t know why do you need to do it with zigbee2mqtt so I can’t transfer this procedure to ZHA.

I’m having this issue now. What was the solution?

I’ve also have the same issue.
Currently using CC2531 dongle, it was working without issue before.
Today, I tried to change battery of existing device, so I remove the device and tried add again.
No matter how many times I try, it won’t add new device.
I have check the ‘Permit Join’ is enable.
